Kim Delaney:A Mysterious Moment

Actress Kim Delaney had a rough night in her native Philadelphia,speaking at a tribute to former Defense Secretary Robert Gates.The teleprompter with her speech on it didn't work and she tried to improvise.This was deemed inapporpriate as it seemed to bother the audience.
The question is,was she just being creative or had she had too much alcohol,as she has done in the past?Some say she looked disheveled,but isn't that the latest style?When you're dealing with an artist,it's hard to say.
Kim Delaney ended up fascinating the media,but it isn't yet clear how the wider public will react to this episode.
